Knowing your driveway and the tools that you have at your disposal can help you save time this winter. If you are someone who has a property that is small enough to clear with a shovel, or even if you are simply using the shovel for a sidewalk, making sure your shovel is ready for winter is critical. Checking for any cracks if that shovel is plastic, and checking the edge if it’s metal can save a lot of work down the road.
Investing in a snowblower can help save time for larger properties, or for anyone tired of using shovels. Knowing if your property needs a single or two-stage snowblower, as well as what level of features to equip it with, can make clearing your property easier this winter.
Another less popular option is utilizing your leaf blower to help clear your property. While this usually works best when the snow is lighter, it can be a quicker option than snowblowing or shoveling.
